…just ’cause

.
.
there’s this thing you always do
i’m not even sure you really know,
and i’m not going to ruin it
by making you aware, if you don’t.

sometimes,

i’ll just be standing there
my back turned, making coffee,
the warmth of your little hand
will slide along…and reach my heart.

and your lips mouth little kisses
against my arm and i just look down,
breathing in the scent of your hair.
and it’s the smell…of everything i love.

sometimes

you’ll be talking, to yourself
your temple leaning so light against me.
i guess you do it…just ’cause i’m there
remind yourself, of things you have to do.

then just as quickly, as i’m breathing you in
you’ll be gone, this thing you do happens often
so i’m not going to ruin it, by making you aware.
and i guess you do it…just ’cause i’ll always, be there.

.Swimming in Your Ocean
When I’m swimming in your ocean
Floating aloft on creams
And scented lotions
I can get pretty side-tracked
I hope you’ll understand
.
as always, this poem was written to the tempo of
this song and can listened to as a soundtrack.
one of my fav songs, male voices, lyirics, bands
and spoof videos, an acquired taste::::enjoy::::

thank you Debbie, so much. i’ve always been fascinated by the small details in life, things others might not notice but i always seem to. i have a head full of these details, from a lifetime of observing. i’m so glad you can appreciate them as you do, thank you again.

ha. yes i can get pretty side tracked in that moment as well…smiles….it is the little things the small touches like that when they are not really even thinking about it that make being in a relationship really cool….

and i think it’s also the best i’ve written KB, for the reason you stated; i wasn’t there. i wrote that very late one night, in a half sleep/half concious state in one draft, virtually no edits. i felt like i was in the same unconcious state she is in, when she talks to herself leaning up against me. and it’s so meaningful to me that you saw that, ty, ty, ty.

well thank you Katie Mia, i appreciate you telling me that and a warm welcome to you. love and music are the primary inspirations for me, sometimes it’s the lyrics, or the music, the tempo but with this one it was everything. i love this song, and i’m happy finally to be able to pay homage with my own words.

I confess I haven’t done the video yet and may not, as I think I prefer the soft warmth of these words without other interpretation. “then just as quickly, as i’m breathing you in you’ll be gone” And gone is okay, because the love is still there, undemanding, strengthening and creating. Beautiful writing!, My friend, you have such a strong talent for expressing gentleness, that it is mesmerizing! And as an aside, thank you for your comment, Dang! You almost made me blush!

you certainly deserve the praise on that poem Mr M, anyway, blushing is good for your health!

i live for those tiny moments, and there usually isn’t a detail that i don’t see,
i guess it’s a discipline i developed observing, when i painted and sketched. our lives are filled
with such moments that usually don’t get noticed by anyone, between Scout and i, i want her to know i notice.
